I'll be making a long trip on my bike and want to bring a laptop + solarpanel + GPS, to do some mobile computing (mainly using GPS and editing a website). My platform will probably be a Libretto L2/5 with 512M RAM. I'm wondering if it is possible to run selected freebsd apps (x-windows, bash, browser, GPS software) from a ramdisk. However, since i've never stepped into the x-windows world, I'd like to get a basic idea of what email & browsing applications are available, a good feature & stability comparison of window managers, etc, etc. Can you point me to some URLs?
